Here's what I got. I went for more of a lava type planet. I would like to add a starscape and possibly small faint rings around the planet, but am having trouble figuring it out. Any suggestions? Thanks for the awesome tutorial!!

Ok, I've been able to do this with another program, but am not sure how to do it with Paint.NET. Also, I'm unsure about the exact term for this technique. I apologize if I sound like a noob, I read the forum rules and I'm pretty sure this is the place to post this. If anyone has any pointers, I would appreciate it.
